It's certainly shaping up to deliver on Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot's promise as being one of the publisher's "best-selling games of all time".

Surprisingly one of the sequel's best features is simply how much Ubisoft have fleshed out the various hacking abilities on top of the systems which were already in place.

With a greatly expanded catalogue of hacks available to you, the game finally feels like everything the original Watch Dogs should have been to begin with.

Take a look at the video above to see three of our favourite new hacks from Watch Dogs 2.

Watch Dogs 2 - Top 3 Hacks

3. Remote driving

Whether you’re causing mayhem by sending parked cars driving into the night like an army of Christine’s, taking enemies hostage in their own vehicle or simply clearing traffic as you bolt down the highway, remote driving is one of the best additions to Watch Dogs 2. Simple to use and ultra effective, it just never gets old. We over-used it from time to time though, eventually getting our sense of direction all mixed up and sending a police car full steam ahead into miles legs. Ouch!

2. Exploding Phones

I can't say whether Ubisoft were in touch with a fortune teller during development, but adding exploding phones as a hack seems a little too on the nose with a certain tech companies issues as of late. Useful (and hilarious) as this hack is, it doesn't stop at explosions. After gaining access to a persons phone, Miles can also turn their social media hub into a portable taser or set it to feedback a horrible high pitch squeal that deafens and immobilises enemies for a short period.

1. Arrest Anyone

By far the most ingenious invasion of anyones privacy, in Watch Dogs 2 you can take advantage of Big Brothers paranoia based spying to turn anyone into a suspect who’ll be immediately arrested by San Frans best and brightest. Perfect when you need distraction to get away from a heavily armed sea of enemies, or in our case simply to ruin someone’s wedding… Should you want to kick things up another notch, instead of using the police, you can place a hit on unsuspecting enemies or NPCs and watch from safety as random gang members come in to, ahem, clean up the mess.

Ubisoft have also just released the details of what's included in their season pass at a slightly lofty price of £29.99.

Still, if you're going to go all out for the full Watch Dogs 2 Dedsec experience, this is definately a must-buy.

Take a look at what's included below:

DLC 1: T-Bone Content Bundle: Players will get the style and the swagger of legendary hacker Raymond “T-Bone” Kenney with his truck and outfit, and discover Mayhem, a new co-op difficulty level that will pit players against a new enemy archetype armed with advanced weaponry.

DLC 2: Human Conditions: Through several hours of additional mission content in three new world stories, players will uncover San Francisco’s biggest scandals on the cutting edge of science, medicine and misuse.

DLC 3: No Compromise: Players will experience an all-new world story which mixes Marcus up in the seedy underbelly of San Francisco and puts him in the crosshairs of the Russian mafia. Also includes a new co-op mode: Showd0wn, where only the best players will survive. (Available Spring 2017).

In addition, players with the Season Pass will get Day 1 access to two unique DLC packs:
